This is the mid 21st century ma’am. Even the upper class crazy eccentric types with taxidermy black bird goth thrones are enjoying the freedom of sweatpants and t-shirts along side mainainable haircuts in public.

People not feeling the need to wear goofy social posturing clothing like corsets and three piece suits or go through rivers of hair oil is truly a sign of progression. Now we all get to feel half assed at dressing up compared to our great grandparents.

When were done with lazy casual I predict a move to get onto the cyberpunk techno phase. You know, really match our clothing with the mid grade dystopia vibes of our current global situation. Maybe conpare social status with cybernetic augmentations and hack job body mods.

I bet replacing your legs with turbo tank treads then getting them serviced yearly will be the new Iphone. Cybernetic lungs that filter pollutants better than normal ones while extracting more oxygen will be the new Rolex. And of course have a yearly quarterly subscription fee.

Then when we get bored of that the victorian dressup might come back after. But not before.

I let go of my notions of identity. I am what I am, whatever that is. I have my opinions on things and enjoy my own version of the human experience

Ultimately we are all the same observer conciousness being that split itself into countless variations all pretending to be something different in order o experience a novel slice of reality.

“I” “Myself” “Me” point to the illusionary mask of ego where the observer pretends it is not everything and instead a single being. Your self is an imaginary construct, it doesnt really exist. Its a useful psychological reference frame and a stage to serve in the function of generating a unique existance with mental emotional complexes.

Yes 👻 The samsquanches got me

Thank you for all the excellent advice, I’ll make use of it!

I wasn’t clear enough with my wording, my bad. I meant that national forest land isnt managed by BLM. I’m aware the BLM manages most public land out west.

Thank you for taking the time to explain it clearly and find that map. I personally like CGP Grey’s video on the subject

I admire hikers and backpackers, definitely would be cool to do. Hiking a even a segment of he appilacia trail would be an awesome goal. Its on the bucket list for sure. Thanks for the shoe recommendation.

I plan to do full time living in the van while traveling the country eventually. So this is also about taking the first steps in adapting to living out of it. Its enough ‘dispersed camping’ for me just being here and out of my comfort zone, relying on limited amounts of resources and exploring the forest a little.

Thank you streetfestival thats very kind :) I sure will!

I think that USDA Forest Service is technically a different government land management agency from the Bureau of Land Management agency so the land isnt technically managed by BLM its managed by national forest services. They share similar general rules for dispersed camping . I checked out the site for my specific national forest to make sure it was allowed.

Hey @brucethemoose hope you don’t mind if I ding you one more time. Today I loaded up with qwen 14b and 32b. Yes, 32B (Q3_KS). I didn’t do much testing with 14B but it spoke well and fast. Was more excited to play with the 32B once I found out it would run to be honest. It just barely makes the mark of tolerable speed just under 2T/s (really more like 1.7 with some context loaded in). I really do mean barely, the people who think 5t/s is slow would eat their heart out. However that reasoning and coherence though? Off the charts. I like the way it speaks more than mistral small too. So wow just wow is all I can say. Can’t believe all the good models that came out in such a short time and leaps made in the past two months. Thank you again for recommending qwen don’t think I would have tried the 32B without your input.

The linked paper was a good read. Thank you.

Thanks for the recommendation. Today I tried out Mistral Small IQ4_XS in combination with running kobold through a headless terminal environment to squeeze out that last bit of vram. With that, the GPU layers offloaded were able to be bumped up from 28 to 34. The token speed went up from 2.7t/s to 3.7t/s which is like a 50% speed increase. I imagine going to Q3 would get things even faster or allow for a bump in context size.

I appreciate you recommending Qwen too, ill look into it.

Thanks, I shouldn’t have said I felt sad about it thats a little hyperbolic, just a little bothered. Im much more happy about finding a model that pushes my AI to its maximum potential while still being usable in real time.

Wow thanks for sharing! Thats useful to know.

Am I the only one kind of relieved when I loose digital files in a drive failure? Its kind of like a chance to start fresh. Yes I liked having pictures of my dead pets and relatives from 10 years ago but I wasn’t going to ever look at them again. I have my memories and that’s enough. Yes I liked having a copy of all the shows I ever enjoyed but I lost interest in half of them over the years and was likely never going to rewatch them locally or not.

There’s a time and a place for all things, digital files are no exception. When the time has passed long ago and the place no longer exist as it once did, its time to let go

I assume the center where all lines intersect is the earth, the dot-dash patterns are each pulsars particular signature patterns, and the length of the lines is the relative distance from earth perhaps in Astronomical Units

I loved adult swim flash games in the 2000s would have definitely cared about this a lot more if flash wasn’t already dead and they weren’t preserved on internet archive and flashpoint

If all computers are on local network you can use warpinator.
